GOP have no clue what Hispanics stand for
A lily white Cuban does not play well with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Central Americans, etc...
Even if Rubio comes with Amnesty, money, government checks, unicorns.... it does not change the fact he looks more gringo than your average white guy
How did it come to pass that every person bearing a surname of Spanish origins is assumed to share the same
portfolio of socio-political beliefs and attitudes?
The mother of George Zimmerman (self-defender against Treyvon Martin’s assault) is of South American native (Indian?) origins but has a Spanish family name, as do many Spouth and Central Americans with not a drop of Spanish blood or cultural ancestry.
Yet for some arcane reason George is labelled “Hispanic,” and is lumped together (but not by his own personal choice) with people having ancestral roots in Cuba, Haiti, Guatemala, Mexico, etc, etc,etc,; all presumed to share like political beliefs and sympathies.
WHY?
